Get Organized

by The Internet Research Geek on June 17, 2008

I love this tool, it blows away Google Desktop search in speed. I’ve tried Google Desktop search  on several computers with the same results—it seemed to be a resource hog and slowed me down more than I could live with.

Copernic Desktop Search 2 is my first choice for quickly and easily locating anything on my system and best of all it’s free—and did I mention warp-speed fast?

This is a simple online to-do list from 37 signals. You can access it from work, home or your phone. If your Ta-da list also happens to be a “honey do” list, you can share it with your honey.  I’m not a big fan of paper driven systems or software that has bells and whistles you’ll never use. Simple works.

 

 

It seems like I spend most of my waking hours researching, Google Notebook makes the task a lot easier. Rather than spending my time cutting and pasting into a different application,  a couple of quick keystrokes and I’ve saved everything I need without ever leaving my browser!

 

 What’s your favorite online organizational tool?

Hey that’s weird, I love the Google Desktop search tool. I don’t find it to be much of a resource drain - and for sure it doesn’t load slow.

But, I’m always on the lookout for a really good and fast tool - and I search my darn desktop more and more the older I get and forget where stuff is!

Thanks for the tip SimplyD!

Hi Rick, thanks for stopping by. The Google Desktop search worked great for me when it first came out so I was really disapppointed when it started slowing me down. You’re not getting older, just perfecting your techniques! ;)
